- Cyanide poisoning is a form of histotoxic hypoxia because the cells of an organism are unable to use oxygen, primarily through the inhibition of cytochrome c oxidase.f cyanide is inhaled it causes a coma with seizures, apnea, and cardiac arrest, with death following in a matter of seconds. At lower doses, loss of consciousness may be preceded by general weakness, giddiness, headaches, vertigo, confusion, and perceived difficulty in breathing.

The facts on copper Ingesting large amounts of copper compounds (such as copper sulfate) can cause death by nervous system, liver and kidney failure. Some studies have shown that ingesting copper may also be implicated in coronary heart disease and high blood pressure although other studies have shown that copper deficiency may play a role in coronary heart disease.

QUININE Link to Problems for Discussion. Quinine poisoning presents a unique toxicological syndrome comprising cardiovascular quinidine-like effects, visual loss, CNS signs and cinchonism (tinnitus, paraesthesiae, ataxia). Treatment of arrhythmias is similar to that for tricyclic antidepressants.n patients with unconsciousness and ECG changes the diagnosis of quinine poisoning is suggested by fixed dilated pupils (see also differential diagnosis of coma, seizures and arrhythmias). Includes maintenance of the airway and ventilation, IV access and fluids.

Cyanide Poisoning Patient Comments Read 2 Comments Share Your Story. Cyanide poisoning can be difficult to detect. The effects of cyanide ingestion are very similar to the effects of suffocation; because cyanide stops the cells of the body from being able to use oxygen, which all cells need to survive.The symptoms of cyanide poisoning are similar to those experienced when hiking or climbing at high altitudes.1  General weakness, confusion, bizarre behavior, excessive sleepiness, coma, shortness of breath, headache, dizziness, and seizures can all present with cyanide poisoning. General weakness, confusion, bizarre behavior, excessive sleepiness, coma, shortness of breath, headache, dizziness, and seizures can all present with cyanide poisoning. 2  Typically, an acute ingestion will have a dramatic, rapid onset, immediately affecting the heart and causing sudden collapse.
